Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

hmmm--obviously one for the lads but I don't mind lurking it gives an insight into men's tiny minds and etceteras ! MS why don't you give your wife the viagra--she might surprise you. I can just picture you doing a Jack Duckworth!! I don't normally watch Corrie but did see some of it last week--nothing can keep Jack from his pigeons. sorry I'm rambling--it must be because all my shares are struggling!

mp What's that about minds and tiny etceteras? Surprised at you. Just visited and posted on YOO; would prefer to visit YOU - now there's an investment; well, we do have MOI - in which tu et moi have holdings, je croix.

"Morning Alan "
"Morning Al"
"Hows life then?"
"Quiet today, Al. Stll licking my wounds from YOO yesterday"
"yeah, me too, Alan"
"Think it will improve then?"
"Hope the worst is over, cos I'm in it as much as you"
"how are your other picks doing then,Al?"
"Well, I'm still chuffed with CSB and BRW. Got into both of them at 30-odd p"
"Wow, me too!"
"remember that first ever investment we did?"
"Yeah, BBC at 50pps. What a time we've had since then."
"Still confident that one will hit £6, Alan?"
"Still confident."
"Not bad overall then?"
"Pretty good, Al. Speak to you next time I'm Bored"
"See you again, Alan"

I very carefully avoided mentioning my mistakes. Such as MKS (in at 590), BRY (in at 90), LUFC (in at 4), YOO (in at 13). I'm only a tiny little investor, playing for fun. the bloody spreads and dealing costs mean I need 10 baggers just to break even. Calm down dear, It's only a commercial!!

Picnic. Yeah thats another one I lost money on. the plan was the marketing of security devices for builders tools. Liam Neeson was the major shareholder as I recall, but he sold out to Robert Maxwell and It all went downhill from there!!

Mitch Allen the man who wrote the Hokey Cokey has died at his home in Texas aged 86,
the funeral was going to plan until they went to put him in the coffin,
they put his left leg in,,, and then all hell broke loose....

Why are large companies unable to give accurate delivery slots - why am i wasting a day sitting waiting for Comet to a deliver a washing machine - why isnt the managing agent doing it? When they do turn up, will they bring the right one, will they plumb it in properly, what damage will they cause?
